Hello all,

I am taking my CFA this Saturday and I wanted to check if scores from my practice test would pass.
Some info about me: I have a 4.67 GPA at a large public high school (2400+ students) in California, making me 2nd in my class. I scored a 1530 on the SAT in March. I am a four year varsity athlete in cross country and track, and I am a two year team captain in cross country. I have a lot of extracurriculars, including president/officer in several clubs and volunteer activities. I was extremely fortunate to receive a Letter of Assurance from USMA last month.

I am taking the CFA in two days, and here are my scores from a practice test I took a couple days ago.

Pull-ups: 6
Push-ups: 55
Sit-ups: 93
BB throw: 65 feet
Shuttle run: 7.5 seconds
Mile run: 4:53

How will these scores do? Thank you all.
 
I think all of your scores are generally fine - your run is obviously outstanding. Very much in line with my son's performance last year with one exception - your pull ups number is pretty low. As @MidCakePa said above - take the test when you are best prepared to perform with the highest scores possible. In other words, you might want to work on those pull ups before jumping in. I would also encourage you to be sure that you concentrate on form for pushups as Admissions will scrutinize this in your video. Make sure you clearly understand the video submission requirements.
 
Do everything you can to get your pull ups to 8 with perfect form, then you'll know you're good to go for sure.
 
DS passed with 7 pull ups, but agree it is best to train to get close to or exceed the average.
